These Game of Thrones Audition Stories Will Make You Love the Cast Even More

Earlier this year, Hill revealed to The Huffington Post that he auditioned for the role of King Robert Baratheon at first: "It is true, to be honest, but I have to say that I came out of the meeting, which went all right, and looked who was in after me, saw who it was, and went, 'Well, he'd be all right for it,' and he was, and he got it. You know, that's showbiz. I then read for [Lord Varys], parts of the dungeon scene with Ned and the chest scene where he explains how he was made from sort of a slave to the security of Westeros, and I think once I had already accepted the part, they said, 'How do you feel about shaving your head?'" [Editors note: Mark Addy was the actor to whom he was referring.]
